So I dunno if I'm looking for some advice or what. Maybe I'm just looking to see if anyone is out there. But anyways heres what I have to say. I recently signed up for an account a few days ago not having any idea what I'd get from it, no idea what to expect. That's okay though. But what exactly is the point of a website like this? For me? I just would like to find somebody. Not real sure for what exactly, but isn't that the point of anything? Who really wants to "match" themselves with someone? What fun is that? Why would you want some website to sort and sift through who you and that person is and find out exactly what you like and they like and find that exact person for you? Isn't the idea in finding somebody...finding somebody? So my idea is to look for somebody to talk to on here. Is that weird? Is that out of the ordinary? I'm not looking for a "one nighter" or a "long term commitment" because that's just silly. What is the point in placing a label on something that hasn't even happened yet. I want to just find somebody and see what happens. Am I in the wrong place? Don't say I should go to the coffee shop, mall, bar or work...because that just contradicts the whole point of this, doesnt it? I don't know maybe I'm just confused. Well, to summarize. I am here to just meet somebody and find out who they are. Maybe using the "label" friend is wrong. But what else should I say? I am interested in finding "somebody to talk to and hang out with and discuss their problems and laugh and learn and smile who intrigues me that isn't ready to jump in bed or put a ring on my finger?" Is that better? I dunno, you tell me.

Welcome, and.........

WHAT THE HECK???

You don't HAVE to be matched by Mingle. Just cruise profiles at your leisure. As for having someone to talk to, you can do it one on one with people you write to by email or IM or you can let people get to know you on these forums, and through common interests.

Nobody says we're all out to get a ring on a finger. There are people on here looking for activity partners, friends, intimate encounters, long term, dating, marriage. It's on their profiles. It sounds like you are looking for friends and dates. So look around. It's up to you on how it goes.

Best of luck to you.

Okay you have quite a few questions here but i'll try. I tried out this website cuz I'm new to the area and I wanted to be able to meet decent people without going to bars and meeting people who belong in a psych ward. I've actually met 2 guys in person off of here, one turned out to be a total tool and the second has potential, we're "dating" right now. No it's not weird that you just want someone to talk to, thats all I was originally looking for.
Friend is the right label, i think. However.. the second guy i mentioned earlier almost permanently put himself in the friend zone with our first 2 dates but he thankfully manned up haha

I do like your description of what you're looking for. If you know what you want it's much easier to find it.

Anything I miss?

Good luck!

Welcome

Once you've been matched let mingle know and they'll deliver to your doorstep!

Welcome aboard, BillySuvol

I really don't think there are any "great expectations" only hope..the only real way to know, is stick around, participate in the forums...and search for members close to you.

Best of luck,

Mark

Thanks... YOU Made my day!!!



ps: PLEASE, PLEASE get me a Texas Passport before you Secede from THE REST OF US... OK?

I just read your post. I like what you had to say, as I'm fairly new here myself, and would just like to find some friends to get started., and like you said, why ask for a permanent relationship w/a complete stranger. That doesn't make sense to me either. Nice snake! I'm a dog lover myself, and had few monkeys in the past. In my younger days, I worked @ a zoo, and even though I worked in the office, I had quite a bit of hands on experience w/alot of the animals. I'm currently not working, but keep myself busy making jewelry and indian headresses (the kind that you put in your car). I also enjoy playing games on the computer (the best invention since hot dogs! ). This sight is still a bit confusing, but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. Can't post a picture yet, as my printer has gone bizzerk on me. Well, have fun, meet lots of people, and if you like, you can chat w/ me anytime. Later! (friend I haven't met yet!) Ladybug

Welcome and good luck
